Which Porn Niches are the Most Lucrative?
Porn Niches

There is one cardinal rule in porn: if you can imagine a niche genre, multiple niche sites already focus on it. These sites cover everything from specific ethnicities and body types to hardcore BDSM scenes and fetishes.

Previously, Adult Site Broker has discussed the most popular gay, straight, and even fetish niches in porn. However, today we will be looking at what niche genres are popular, no matter your sexuality or the gender of the pornstars below.

As you start to set up your new porn website, knowing what niches are trending and what types of content you can offer allows you to cater to a specific audience efficiently and also carve out a space for yourself in the heavily saturated world of online porn. 

So what are the most popular niche porn genres, and why are they lucrative opportunities for porn site owners to invest in? 

BDSM/Fetish

From yoni eggs and balloons to bondage gear, pet play, and watersports, the world of BDSM and fetish porn has become even more popular in the last few years, with Pornhub finding that some of their most popular BDSM categories on Pornhub are “bondage,” “slave,” and “latex.”

As a porn website owner, BDSM and fetish-focused content allow you to choose from a wide range of clips and create a website that is specific to one type of fetish, such as leather gear or sadomasochism and nipple torture, or create a porn site that offers a wide range of BDSM content to appeal to a bigger audience. 

MILF

For those who enjoy older porn stars in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, MILF porn has become a popular niche, allowing viewers to enjoy more experienced actresses and live out their fantasy of seducing the hot mom down the road.

For your website, you can focus on offering content that focuses on specific dynamics, such as lesbian MILF porn or ‘step-family’ porn, to appeal to those looking for something more taboo. 

Amateur

With the rise of OnlyFans and sites like Make Love Not Porn, to the thousands of subreddits dedicated to the topic, amateur porn has become even more popular. Shot by non-professional actors or even couples in their bedrooms, amateur porn has become popular because of the ‘realism’ and authenticity of the footage compared to bigger porn productions. 

Anal

Anal content is part of the broader world of hardcore porn niches. This category has become popular among both male and female viewers. Many well-known performers feature in this type of content.

Because audiences view it as a more hardcore niche, many porn websites monetize it through premium memberships. These memberships give viewers paid access to exclusive content and help websites generate consistent revenue.

Asian

All around the world, Asian porn has become one of the most popular porn niches, focusing on porn clips featuring both professional and amateur Asian porn stars coming from Korea, China, Japan, and Thailand. By creating a porn website dedicated to Asian porn, you can easily earn a profit by catering to a more targeted audience.

Interracial

Unlike Asian porn, interracial porn focuses on partners of different races engaging in sex scenes, with the most popular types to be found featuring black and white performers.

These scenes tend to be more popular because of their hardcore or taboo-focused nature, making them a large market for those looking to make their porn websites stand out from the crowd.  

BBW

Meaning ‘big, beautiful women,’ BBW caters to those who prefer porn actresses of a specific weight or body type. It has become a popular porn genre due to its unique content and is excellent for porn sites to make a profit because of their highly targeted audience base. 

Gangbang

What’s better than one partner? A group! Gangbang porn is another hardcore porn niche featuring groups of people having sex on screen with one person.

This has become popular among straight and LGBT viewers, with gangbangs being made up of men and women, just women and just men, depending on what you are interested in seeing. 

Cosplay

Finally, cosplay content has become a popular niche for adult content in recent years, with OnlyFans creators and porn production companies making money off of erotic versions of people’s favorite games, movies, or anime characters. 

Conclusion 

To wrap up, the world of porn is a vast one, with sites catering to different tastes; if you can think of a porn video that you would like to see, you can guarantee that there will be a site dedicated to it.
